Are you new to the Cosmetic Chemist world? Are you proud of a Paper, Article, Column, or Patent that you have created and want to share it? The SCC is pleased to begin a new program: Fresh to Print. Fresh to Print will be a monthly contest where Chemists with less than five years experience in the industry can submit writings to the SCC for a chance to have them printed in the Cosmegram. Every month, one paper will be picked to be printed in the newsletter and the writer will receive a Fifty Dollar Gift Certificate. At the end of the year, a grand prize will be given to the author of the best received piece.

If you would like to submit, please send your article to:

Beverly Hills, CA 90211

If you have any questions, please contact Yi Hsin Chang at (323) 904-5660 or email her at ychang@breakthroughinbeauty.com.

Thank you and good luck!
